MADRID: A popular bakery chain in Spain’s capital has been forced to shit after couple of rats was filmed crawling over sandwiches.

Passers-by were shocked to have creepy sight on the edibles. They took video of the rodents before calling police who ordered the temporary closure of the business until town hall chiefs carry out an inspection.

The rats got stuck in at a food display at Granier Bakery’s Pueblo Nuevo in Madrid, which has branches around the world including Woolwich and Wood Green in London.

The company confirmed the closure, and claimed it was trying to get to the bottom of this ‘isolated incident’.

A spokesman said: ‘Granier confirms the Pueblo Nuevo establishment in Madrid has been closed and sealed off.

‘The company has made itself available to the relevant authorities and opened an internal investigation.

A company statement added: ‘Granier confirms this is an isolated incident that is being investigated internally to detect the origin.

‘All the more than 350 Granier establishments in Spain and around the world comply strictly with all food safety norms.’
